MORE than 40 Samba Soccer players attended the Brazilian Soccer School "Taster" sessions held at Kirkby Stephen Grammar School Sports College on Saturday, April 26, and almost 60 have already signed up for the two weekly schools in Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh.

On a beautifully sunny day, all who attended the "taster" sessions were caught up in the Brazilian Samba mood as the music played and the players danced their way through soccer drills which tested their individual skills. Parents too were seen to be moving to the neat as they watched their off spring perform.

There are currently three sessions per week held in Kirkby Stephen and two in Sedbergh for all age groups and anyone else interested in improving their football, Brazilian style, is invited to call Gary Payton on 07890 615926 to book a place on the Soccer School.

Gary said: "With Brazil generally regarded as being the best in the world, having won the World Cup no fewer than five times, this is a change not to be missed. It really is a case of miss-it and miss out."
